MARRIAGE IS MINISTRY & MINISTRY IS A CALLING

Image
Brethren, the fact that someone is an Elder, Deacon, Deaconess, Pastor, Prophet, etc doesn't mean is automatic that their marriage will work. Ministry is a calling on its own and marriage is a ministry on its own. Marriage is an everyday job. Marriage requires continuous work to make it enjoyable. Let's stop proposing to people with this phrase "I want to marry you because of my ministry, I want to become a Pastor and the way you are good, you can help my ministry". Do you know the other person's ministry and are you also willing to be a helper? Let's stop thinking "ME, ME" when it comes to marriage and start thinking "US, US". So what will she be to you aside from ministry? Please Young ladies, stop pressuring your to-be(s) with these questions❓ 1. Why are you still a brother? 2. Why are you not an Officer? 3. When will you be an officer? 4. You always walk with Pastor, did he say anything about you becoming a Pastor? The fact that someone...

HARDWORK ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH

Image
🚨If you were born to a POOR background, with little to zero access,   No “connections” or opportunities from your family, HARD WORK is barely enough♻️ You do need series of GOOD FORTUNE & arbitrary advantages to even get HALF as far, legitimately it’s an UNFAIR start. The cards are stacked against you. 🚨For every “rags to riches” story you hear, understand that, there are probably a thousand OTHERS who couldn’t make it Not because they have been LAZY, some literally work the hardest, but life happens. Rich, poor, we ALL have ambitions. Ambitions are free. But it’s  DIFFICULT being poor & knowing you MAY not realize your ambitions.. The constant sense of URGENCY to upscale is always there, Growing up, my neighborhood was littered with bright gems - potentials.  Today, many of them are BARELY scratching just to get by. Indeed, the RACE is NOT for the swift nor the battle to the strong (Eccl. 9:11) 🚨To be poor is to continuously live under TENSE conditions… ♻...

LOVE ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH

Image
And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions: 5 But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had shut up her womb. 1 Samuel 1: 4-5 There is difference between marriage and love. Elkanah gave Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and daughters portions after the sacrifice because he was married to her and they were his responsibility But to Hannah, he gave double portion because he LOVED her 🔥 🤔🤔 . You may be married but do you love your spouse, do you do what you do for him/her out of love or you only do because it your responsibility. Let do all things out of love, from a loving heart because love conquers multitude of sins and perfect love bring the best out of people. Knowing that, someone do what they do for You wholeheartedly because they love you is a great feeling and keeps you going always. 8 Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou...

ARE YOU BURDENED AND NEED REST?

Image
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."  (Matthew 11:28) Don't let sins overburden You, You can overcome sin cause Christ paid it all on the cross and has given You the power to do so. My Dear, death is inevitable, hell is real and so is heaven. Where will You want to be after death? Heaven or Hell? If it is heaven, You have to accept Jesus Christ as Your LORD and SAVIOUR, live for him all the days of Your life and allow him handle the affairs of your life. Do you want to take a decision by accepting JESUS CHRIST as your LORD and SAVIOUR? Are you a believer who needs counseling or assistance?

HEED THE VOICE OF JESUS IN YOUR DRESSING.

Image
The Lord speaks to us in diverse ways and it's up to us as children of God to pay heed to His voice. Sometimes, we feel the Lord is far away but we should know the spirit of God in us direct various activities we do and is up to us to submit to His tuition and guidance. Something happened this Sunday and I want to share with us all. As I was preparing for service in the morning, I was singing a song which goes, "As I walk with the Lord, I will live my life to glorify Him, I will not let people get anything bad to say about me that I may not disgrace my God. As I walk with my God, I love my life to glorify Him" I had ironed my dress for service earlier on but after dressing up, I heard a voice which asked either I was going to church or a date. I stopped singing, and the voices asked again, I ignored and left to church, on my way, as the voice was still asking, I became weak and guilty but another voice said, the dress is nice on you and this is the second time you've ...

MARRIAGE VERSES MINISTRY

Image
Marriage is the first institution God created and must be honoured as such. The purpose of our earthly marriage should reflect the original one thus Christ being the groom and we being the bride. Nowadays most are contracting marriage with immature motives and personal gains which defiles the rare purpose of marriage. Brethren especially we the Youth, let’s be alert. You should not marry someone purposely for ministry (the person becoming a pastor and You becoming a pastor's wife). Know that becoming a Pastor or pastor's wife is a divine calling from the lord and it has its own weights that comes with it. Its good You desire to be one but note is a calling and everything “calling” comes with its wilderness. Young guy, please let's stop proposing marriage to ladies with, “I want to marry you because I will become a pastor, you are what I'm looking for my ministry” and that sort. Most of this end in outside gentility, home cry. Some of these men/women become prolific ...

DECENCY ON THE WEDDING DAY

Image
  Marriage is Honorable, my dear ladies, let be careful of what we wear on this glorious three (3) hours celebration. I stand by descent wedding dresses. Is time we stop exposing our breast and other vital body parts in the name of fashion and it my day. Fashion is good but it shouldn’t take control over us totally, is very pathetic how some of us dress on our wedding day. Some of the new wedding dresses that have come up in the name of fashion actually allows you to see all their breast outside which is very bad, some exposing their back, showing all vital parts. All this does not add anything to your beauty but indirectly telling us who you are. Most of these are in our churches now. Our dear seamstress, help us by sowing nice dresses but not exposing our vital body parts cause our bodies belongs to our husbands only not the whole world. If it was to be for everyone to see, we would have been walking naked. We may not know who is coming to our wedding and what's in someone...
